BEAUTIFUL restoration of an UGLY desk

This desk was made around 1920-1930. Decades later somebody tried to refinish it, but they stopped in half way. So now it was my turn to make it nice again.

There are some furniture restoration channels on YouTube. If somebody asked me to pick the best one, it would be a tough choice. Since I am writing here, you can surely guess where I am heading. Correct. This! This is the best furniture restoration channels on YouTube. Ahti, you are a true master and I also like the way you do this videos. No talking, no "sponsors". Just pure 100% content. I remain truly amazed and grateful, for you share your workflow and over decades acquired skills with us. You are truly a master of your craft, Ahti. Best wishes, Erik.

Beautiful! I too would have preferred a mid tone stain but this piece is alive again.

I think what makes these videos so enjoyable is the good editing; you show just enough to follow the process, but not enough to make it boring. It stays interesting throughout!

Beautiful mobile! I'm only sorry for the dark color applied to the piece, because I like the color of natural wood. Whatever the color of the wood, I prefer it because the natural beauty is incomparable.
Another extraordinary work, Ahti! Congratulations!

I agree with you on how the stain is too dark. It still looks magnificent but it would look even better a shade or two lighter. Brilliant restoration sir. Your best yet! BRAVO!

Magnificent! Only you could have resurrected that desk to the level it is now Ahti. My wife and i both exclaimed "Who wouldn't want that in their home"? Who indeed! Spectacular work my brother. And thank you again for the English subtitles on your interview video on television. While your language is beautiful, I speak none, so being able to see what was said made the video even more awesome. Thank you as always brother, for your outstanding work and videos. God bless. Rev. D.

I agree that the color requested was darker than I would have chosen, but you can't argue with the stunning transformation. Absolutely beautiful. I get almost giddy when I see the notification that you have released a new video...I always learn something new. Thanks for another great restoration.

Although I have had many favourites from your body of work I think this one is my favourite-of-all-time! At least so far. Even in its life-has-been-hard condition it is a beautiful piece and your skilled restorative work just puts it over-the-top for me.

Your client is very fortunate to have you do the work. It came out beautifully.

I love the way you work, your ethics, your attention to details, your REAL and not put on. You know what needs to be done and just do it. This is one very beautiful desk, all the details, hidden compartment and all. I would have thought the client would have wanted someway to keep it off the floor to protect it some what. You do such beautiful work. Thank you for sharing this with us. You have a truly blessed day
